With a few hours till kick off there have been some more quotes coming out of the club.

Alex:

'At the start of the season we would like this situation, to have to play at home in the last game to win the Premier League is good for us, and we hope we can make a party for the fans after this game and the next one, against Portsmouth. We know we have to win, and we are strong so we know we can win the Premier League and the Cup.

We have had time to recover after Liverpool and to prepare and train hard for Wigan, Every player is concentrated to do this this week, we know we can't do mistakes. We want a good win to become champions.

It is better if we score early. If at half-time it is still 0-0 it is no good for us or the fans, but I think we can score in the first half, and maybe we will be able to relax, but if we have a chance we need to score early. I spoke with my father before the game against Liverpool and he was nervous. I said 'No, we can win, we have a chance and we will win both games!

He will watch on TV, and there are lots of family in Brazil who will watch, every game. Every game is on TV, the Premier League is very popular there, it is the most popular competition after the Champions League, they like the English football there.'

Ancelotti:

"It would be a fantastic season if we are able to win the Double in this first season but I want to wait to answer this question! Everyone wants to win on Sunday because it is a lot of time that this club didn't win the title, so we will be close and I am sure everyone will do their best.

I don't want to say it is our destiny, but we did a fantastic job. Until now we deserved to stay in the top of the list, but if we lost the last game after 10 months of a fantastic job it would be a tragedy, a disaster. We played with continuity we don't miss very important games because we played six games against the top four and won all the games. For this we deserve to stay now in the top of the list.

I am not nervous, not now, maybe at the start of the game but now there is a lot of time, It's not good to be nervous, I am very calm and quiet. Wigan is a good team, they have a lot of skills in front, they are quick, they created us a lot of difficulties in the first game, I remember it very well and we have to pay attention, nothing is decided. If you do not prepare well during the game you will not be able to solve your problems."

Cech:

"It is four years since we won back-to-back titles and I got used to the feeling. Since then we have come very close and this time we have our destiny in our hands. It is up to us.

You can feel from the reaction of the crowd, you know exactly what is happening in the other game. Some people call out but two years ago when this happened, when we played at home to Bolton and Man United played Wigan away, you could feel when they scored the goal in the first half even though it never appeared on the screen.

You could sense it in the crowd because people became unhappy and when it was 2-0, you could feel it again and we knew the score was not good for us. That led to the Bolton goal against us at the end and we drew 1-1. We knew that it was over."
